What? This is a mailing list of LibreOffice user. If a user is interested in Ooo, that user has all the freedom to join the mailing list Ooo releases.

Thanks

Hi,

On the contrary it is interesting to see if and when yes how often Open Office will release. I thought of it as being dead as there has not been a release in a relative long period of time.

So thanks for informing :wink:

PS: @Bastián: You just started a probably long discussion :wink:

I tend to agree that this is a LibreOffice mailing list - it's one thing to
say a new release is out for OOo but to link to their download page...I
don't see this as being the proper venue for that.

Best,
Joel

This was the first bug fix release since 13 months. On my laptop I have
both suites installed. I prefer AOO.

#7

Virtually none of your aleged users read mailing lists. From the AOO
support forum you get way more users because we never hesitate to
recommend LO when it comes to "compatibility" with the _real_ enemy or
when someone asks for a feature that is implemented in LO but not in
AOO. I couln't care less about the partisanship exposed on this fanboy
register.

#8

Again all of that is irrelevant on this particular mailing list. It would
be like you going to Microsoft's forums and posting about OOo (of
LibreOffice) - it just doesn't make sense and isn't appropriate.

Anyways, I'm going to go ahead and delete the thread as I don't
particularly care all that much. I just think it's illogical and
unreasonable to think that this is the right place for these messages.

When some LO users rely on Aoo to fill gaps left by regressions in LO, it is a pertinent post to LO users.
We shouldn't pretend that there are no faults with LO and I would have thought recommending AOO as the first fall back (rather than others) was in our best interests.

+1. This type of email is unproductive.

@Andreas, Please do not send more this type of email. I think that if a member of this list is interested in OOo or AOO, they can search for information by their own efforts. Thank you.

#11

I am a devoted LO user. That said, AOO & LO are cousins. Birth announcements are welcome in most families.

#12

It is not that and so far nobody has referred to that. To me I'm glad AOO has had a new release, but this mailing list does not have that objective. There are other ways to promote and publicize such news.

This mailing list is for users to help each other to solve problems related to the configuration and use of LibreOffice.

Such issues and anyone who stays away from that goal, makes mailing list is inefficient and ineffective.

Convert this mailing list into something better depends on us. Thank you.

Amen

Hi :slight_smile:

Well, at least to the agreement that it's interesting to hear about the
first release in a long time for a sister-project. It's good to hear they
are still active. Also they are very willing to answer questions about
LibreOffice over there.

It's not the same as promoting MS Office. AOO uses the same Open Document
Format, it's kinda OpenSource and available for all the main platforms and
almost Free. Ultimately i suspect that many people trying AOO will end up
using LibreOffice because it's fairly easy to switch between the two and
back again. Moving to or from MS Office involves dealing with quite a few
barriers. To me it's a bit like promoting Open Document Format, which i
think we all agree is probably a good plan.
Thanks Andreas! :slight_smile:

@all. Please can we just drop this topic/thread now? At worst the
original post was unnecessary noise but was pretty harmless really. Some
of us enjoy hearing about others in the wider eco-system or wider community
having an unusual success. It's only by grumbling about such posts that so
much attention gets drawn to them.
